Yeah, I've got an interview too. I'm in shock to be honest. I wasn't expecting to get any interviews this year (I only had 1 last year) and now I have 2.

Anybody know what to expect?

I got 662.5 but my highers aren't great in comparison to others.

I got the email through at 15.29 and the interview is on the 15th.

Do they really interview for Medicine as late as March? Did you have to send any additional documents?


there were interviews until early march. i was asked to send a school transcript with my grades (it was part of the requirements, but i couldn't put it ok ucas... very little people are asked for additional documents). they just do it randomly, i wouldn't worry. can i ask which country you are from?

Yeah they do. My interview was on the 2nd March last year. I was rejected 10/11 days later... Butttt it does decrease the worrying time down a little after the interview :tongue:



Good lcuk to anyone who has their interview tomorrow :biggrin: Although I doubt many of them will be on here now because they're all sensible whereas I am too easily distracted :tongue:

Haha ok well most of them are probably sensible then :tongue:

I'm not sorry. I decided to stay at my grans in Glasgow tonight instead (because I love my gran... and it's free :colone:) then will drive over in the morning, interview and then home. I'm too poor to stay overnight haha and my dad couldn't get off work for the Thursday :/ Hopefully in another 10 months time though...

Just so you know, if I'm speaking to you tomorrow and I seem like I'm choking on my words (or attempt to speak and then no sound comes out) I'm not incapable of speaking normally, I just have a cold :tongue: I should've known it was a mistake to go into a nursery a few days before the interview :facepalm:

Interview! :tongue: It's on the 15th like everyone else that recieved one today (I think) and at 3.40. Looking forward to it as I was interviewed last year and and went well (my ukcat screwed me over last time.) They're quite friendly so don't worry about it too much :tongue:

For anyone that's interested, my ukcat is 692.5 and grades are 5A's at higher (couldn't sit exams in 6th because of illness, so sitting some this year)

An email. I'm not sure if St Andrew's send letters, I think I remember hearing someone say that they tend to send emails instead because it's better for the environment than using paper
